With the new year quickly approaching, I’ve been spending a lot of time reflecting on what I’d like to change about my life in the coming year. From eating healthier to exercising more to being more creative, I thought my list of resolutions was just about complete; that is, until I realized something major was missing.

Maybe you're heading off to your first year of college, unsure of what the future away from home holds. Or maybe you're in between jobs, anxious about where you'll end up. Perhaps you’ve been agonizing over the release of test results that seemingly determine your future.

“And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow Him. Let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built on Him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.” (Colossians 2:6-7)

And then the overthinking begins.

You obsess over everything you said that day and beat yourself up over everything that you didn't. You replay conversations over and over again in your mind, agonizing over the smallest of details and analyzing all the ways in which you could've been wrongly perceived. You spend hours ruminating on these thoughts, rehashing the past until everything that seemed good at first now becomes nothing more than a place for worry and distress.

There's nothing more comforting on a lazy summer morning than a nice, fluffy stack of pancakes. Think you need eggs to make them? Think again!
